INSTALLING ABRASIVE BELT-TENSIONING
AND TRACKING
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN
SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM
POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE REMOV-
ING OR INSTALLING ABRASIVE BELT.
On the smooth side of the abrasive belt you will find a
"directional arrow." The abrasive belt must run in the
direction of this arrow so that the splice does not come
apart.
1, Loosen the two abrasive belt LOCKING screws.
2. Place the abrasive bett over the pulleys with the direc-
tional arrow pointing as shown. Make sure the abra-
sive belt is centered on both pulleys.
Turning the abrasive belt ADJUSTING screws will cause
the idler pulley to move in or out. When the idler pulley
is moved outward, it puts TENSION on the belt.
3. Place both of the 1/=-wrenches on the ADJUSTING
screws and pul! the wrenches toward you. This will
stretch the abrasive belt. Move the wrenches back and
forth a few times so that you "get the feel" of the
abrasive belt while it is stretching (TENSIONING).
Apply a small amount of TENSION to the abrasive
belt by pulling the wrenches toward you, so that the
TENSION feels the same on both wrenches.

4.
Hold the abrasive disc with your left hand to keep it
from turnin'g while pushing the belt in the direction
of the arrow. If the abrasive belt slips over the
pulleys, turn both ADJUSTING screws
simultaneously a small amount to apply a little more
tension to the abrasive belt.
5. Adjust the tension so that the abrasive belt does not
slip very easily when pushing it, while you are holding
the disc,
6. Tighten the locking screws.
7. Plug in the power cord. Turn the switch "'ON", and
immediately "'OFF", noting if the bett moved to the
right or to the left.
If it did not move to the right or left, it is
TRACKING properly,
